Death Ray Weapon Being Developed at Martin Co Plant
Dr. Carl L. Kober of Martin Co outlines a space tested death ray to be ready for 1963. The device would emit a beam over 100000 degrees, heat and evaporate targets via concentrated solar energy, powered by nuclear energy, about the size of a large searchlight and weighing 30000 pounds. On earth its range would be under a mile, in space 50 to 200 miles, impractical for terrestrial use. The Air Force may use it to police near earth, officials in Washington declined comment.

Three Wisconsin Tax Reform Paths Face Uncertainty
Wisconsin lawmakers continue to wrestle with tax reform as three main options remain. Gov. Nelson could win partial Democratic backing to revive a selective sales tax and income tax increase with GOP coalition support. The Republican assembly may push a general three percent sales tax without income tax hikes. A stalemate could force a referendum while interim measures, likely higher personal income surtaxes, ease deficits.
